Kybella Fat Dissolver in Beverly Hills

Excess skin and fatty tissue can accumulate below the jawline as a result of aging, genetics, or weight gain. Submental fat (fat under the chin), also referred to as a double chin, can add years onto the appearance and cause some men and women to feel overweight. Despite diet and exercise, submental fat is often unresponsive and, when caused by genetics, it does not go away with weight loss.
Although submental fat is a common complaint, the double chin is one of the least treated areas of the face. Until recently, improving submental fat meant a surgical liposuction procedure with recovery time. The results from more traditional procedures can be dramatic, but not everyone is ready for surgery. Fortunately, iGlow Med Spa an exciting new alternative to submental liposuction, Kybella™.

Kybella™ Submental Fat Elimination
Kybella™ is the first and only injectable approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to eliminate submental fullness. Created from Deoxycholic Acid, this naturally occurring molecule is used by the body to help in the breakdown and absorption of unwanted fat. Injected into prominent fatty tissue under the chin, Kybella™ will slowly dissolve targeted fat cells. As the fatty tissue is broken down, the body safely reabsorbs the cells. The skin will become smooth and taut, creating a sculpted contour underneath the chin.

The Kybella™ Consultation
While Kybella™ can benefit almost any patient, the procedure is not for everyone. Potential patients should schedule a consultation with Nurse Nataly before beginning treatment. At this appointment, Nurse Nataly will assess your facial structure and review your aesthetic goals. We will fully explain what to expect from the Kybella™ procedure and the intended results. If the fat elimination injectable is determined to be the right procedure, a personalized Kybella™ treatment plan will be created.

The Ideal Kybella™ Candidate
Anyone unhappy with the appearance of a double chin may benefit from Kybella™. Successful patients will be in good health and fully understand the non-invasive Kybella™ treatment plan. Ideal candidates will also hold realistic expectations for their results. Any ethnicity and skin type can see effective results from Kybella™. Contraindications to Kybella™ include patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, those who have a bleeding disorder, or those who have an active infection. In these cases, Kybella™ will not be administered. In addition, patients with excess skin or scar tissue under the chin may not be suited for the injectable fat elimination treatment.

The Kybella™ Treatment
The Kybella™ procedure will be performed in iGlow Med Spa comfortable treatment rooms. A session will take less than 30 minutes to complete from start to finish. Once the target area has been determined, a series of up to 30- 50 injections will be applied. Kybella™ is not considered a painful procedure, although patients may choose to have a topical or local anesthetic prior to treatment.
More than one Kybella™ session is usually required for optimal results. Depending on the severity of submental fat, most patients will receive between two and six Kybella™ treatments, spaced four weeks apart. Nurse Nataly can recommend additional treatments to compliment the Kybella™ results to design a personalized treatment plan that may include dermal fillers to treat lines and wrinkles in the lower face or Botox® to smooth forehead lines.

After a Kybella™ Treatment
There is no downtime required after a Kybella™ session. Patients can immediately return to their normal activities, including exercise. Although the results from Kybella™ can be dramatic, they will not be immediately evident. Most patients will see benefits begin to appear after one to two Kybella™ treatments. As the fatty tissue is absorbed by the body, the contours of the submental area will steadily improve.
The fatty tissue that is eliminated during a Kybella™ treatment will not return. Therefore, no follow up appointments are anticipated to maintain results. Once the series of Kybella™ injections is finished, the results are expected to be permanent.
While serious complications are rare after Kybella™, as with any procedure, there is always a small risk involved. It is not uncommon for mild bruising or swelling to occur, but these minor issues will resolve in just a few days. Although less common, some patients may experience temporary numbness, difficulty swallowing, or excessive bleeding.
